| Question: Is it allowed to eat food
in a dish used by a person of other religion? In our Pakistani society,
it is customary to have separate utensils for Christians. Can we eat food
with them in the same dish?
Answer: There is absolutely no harm in eating with any one in the same dish whether he be a Muslim or a non-Muslim. Unfortunately, there exist certain taboos in our society which sell under the label of Islam. We Pakistani Muslims have remained under the influence of the inhuman caste-system prevalent among the Hindus. Islam shuns such class divisions. All people, whatever their religion be, are equal in their capacity as human beings and deserve equal respect and regard. |
